What was your favorite design to make & why? (whether it has sold or not pick just 1 & include the link to the product page NOT the image link)	I had a lot of fun making a design called "Shamrock Explosion". It was a bit of a first experiment with digital art that turned out really well, in my opinion. I think it's a fun design. The design is on a few items, but at the moment, I have to say that I like it best on a stein. Shamrock Explosion by dreamNwish_Photo_Art See more St. patrick's day Mugs

What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more	Zazzle is helping me stay out of the traditional work force. I can be creative and earn a few dollars at the same time. I have to admit that I became a pro-seller because of referrals from my blogs and Squidoo lenses, but as I create more and more of my own products I'm starting to make royalties now too and it feels really good.

What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more
When I first started at Zazzle it was more or less just curiosity to see what My "creations" would look like on T-shirts, greeting cards, etc. I had up to this point just emailed My friends and family some of My daily doodles. I have always "doodled" since I was Five. I'm No artist. I've never went to any art school or formal training, just doodled. "Zazzling" is just pure fun for Me, but lately I have actually got a more serious mind into designs and artwork that is submitted. By being in contact with other Zazzlers has broaden My outlook on My "doodles" notably, I recently have started using a pressure sensitive drawing tablet and several different paint programs. This I found to just enhance the fun I already was having.

What was your favorite design to make & why? (whether it has sold or not pick just 1 & include the link to the product page NOT the image link)	It's difficult, to choose My favorite design, because each piece is a favorite after it's been done. This time I will choose Rescue Angel. It was inspired by My Wife Beth and all of Our kids with tails.

What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more	After being dehumanized and stripped of self worth due to bad relationships, Zazzle has given me the self confidence I need to continue doing what I love doing, and that is making items that sell, which has helped me in the healing process. So it's been good therapy.

What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more	Zazzle has been a God send to me. I found Zazzle at a time in my life where I couldn't find a job and was feeling like I wasn't worth much. Designing products for my Zazzle store became an outlet for me--a wonderful and creative outlet! Although I am a Proseller now, I still get excited and giddy when I get an email telling me one of my products has been purchased. It still tickles me that someone out there likes something I created enough to buy it and wear or tote it around!

What affect has zazzle had on your life in 25 words or more	In a nutshell, Zazzle has allowed me to work at home and be available for my young daughter. I was feeling creatively stifled since I left the corporate world of marketing and communications design after becoming a mother. I had no opportunity to design products that I, myself, would buy. Zazzle has given me back my creative spark and each morning I look forward to when I can sit down and design a new product.

What was your favorite design to make & why? (whether it has sold or not pick just 1 & include the link to the product page NOT the image link)	I don't have one that really stands out. I really enjoy doing business cards and anything to do with corporate identity development as that has been my specialty for nearly 20 years. I have enjoyed using family photos as placeholders and whenever I see them in my store they make me smile. This is an invitation I had a lot of fun with. I love mixing the vintage images with contemporary design. I also have fun writing copy (harkening back to my marketing days). I've sold quite a number of these.
